    Well, I had a weak moment. Bought another set of balls to recondition. These are special. Comets… These have not been made in this color in like, FOREVER. Never seen a set like this at any ally. So these are staying with me.
    Never been reconditioned. Going to take a lot of work. Won’t help me bowl any better but I won’t have a hard time finding them.

    Casual vehicle shopping is the worst. I've got one foot in, one foot out...not positive right now is the right time. All of them act like theirs is the best, cheapest newest etc. I'm dodging phone calls left and right. I'm looking for a deal and so far not getting it. They all want to tack 3-4k on top in bs non taxable fees. I think I need to crap or get off the pot the sales guys are relentless once they've got your number....

    Still have one more round of chip repair and re-polish but, you get the idea..
    No computer machines on these guys. All by hand…

    Looking sweet! :thumbsup:

    Might be a silly question:
    If you repair 2 balls so they are "smooth & round" will a highly polished ball be faster/better than one with a matte finish?
